@@SciFiGuy My doctor doesn't allow alcohol for a YEAR! I guess the idea is that too many people replace one addiction for the other, but...

To the OP..... If you are really sincere, I suggest professional help. There's no one on this board (I hope) that is going to help you justify your alcohol abuse. Our shock, disbelief and utter concern should tell you that this is a serious problem that you have, and you desperately need to seek help. If you need help selecting the therapist, please contact me via private message and I'll help you find someone.

I don't know why a WLS would make people think they get drunk differently. Other than drinking on a empty stomach ,which you could do before WLS, why would having WLS make anyone get drunk or not get drunk slower or faster? I seriously don't understand how WLS could make a difference. I occasionally have a cocktail, and I feel the same buzz I felt before WLS.

The poster should consult his physician about this since it is contraindicated for this surgery and could lead to complications, as well as transfer addiction. Referral possibly for further evaluation with psychiatrist may be helpful.

My surgeon said most certainly it was ok to have a beer or hard liquor, he however wants you to wait six months out before drinking. The registered Dietitian wants a limit of 4 a months ????
